Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has called for a quick resolution to the ongoing nurses strike that has paralysed healthcare across the country.
Prof Kindiki urged the Council of Governors (CoG) and Kenya National Union of Nurses and Midwives (KNUNM), together with the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), to resolve outstanding issues at the heart of the strike to prevent further suffering of Kenyans seeking treatment in various hospitals.
“This industrial action has affected the smooth delivery of health services across the country,” he said.
“I wish to encourage CoG, in consultation with SRC, to conclude on the outstanding issues as soon as possible to facilitate resumption of services,” added the Deputy President.
